Message:: [QUOTE="jmon, post: 25691813, member: 19422"]No, I certainly am not. However, I am more than competent. Further, I have given eBay images highlighting the issues with the coin, and images to the real coin from PCGS Coin Facts (telling them where I got the images). They simply do not care. As further evidence of that, one of the listings I reported to them specifically stated it was a "base medal coin" and "not silver". The seller clearly knew it was a counterfeit coin. Their listing was not 100% deceitful, regardless, selling the coin in the US is illegal. eBay still refused to take it down... Finally, I am quite certain that I was not the only person reporting those coins. Sure, perhaps I was one of a few. Perhaps I was the first. There is no way I was the only person... They certainly do have a lot of categories. While I cannot speak to those, I can speak to US coins. There are specific statutes dealing with the sale of counterfeit coins. While I will freely admit I am not an attorney, I believe the law is fairly clear and eBay is likely opening themselves up to potential legal issues by failing to adequately police the listings on their site. While it may seem (or so it seems) absurd to you that eBay has responsibilities here, they do. Businesses in many industries have faced legal consequences for failing to ensure illegal activities were not facilitated by their site/business. eBay is certainly not immune.[/QUOTE]
